"It's not going to get ugly at this exhibit... From Tom Bovo's colorful city-inspired pieces to the twisted paintings of former Catholic school boy Joey Kilrain, to the dazzling personal collage work and photographs by the Voice's own Araceli Cruz, there's not an ugly piece in the bunch." Village Voice, "Voice Choices"

Openings proudly presents its third major group exhibition:
God Doesn't Like Ugly at the historic Church of St. Paul the Apostle. Fifteen artists have been invited to address this theme in painting, drawing, mixed media, installation, sculpture and photography.

The artwork is displayed in the side chapels displayed in the side chapels and throughout the church interior among its wealth of historically significant artwork to further invigorate the space with diverse and engaging contemporary pieces.
